I was never really worried about Swiatek beating Pegula. Don't understand the love for her off of clay now that her dominant run of two years ago is long gone. As I've posted before, she's a bully on court. Whenever anyone stands up to her game and pushes her back, she collapses like a house of cards. This has happened multiple times, is utterly predictable and somehow goes unnoticed by most.

I am very worried, though, about Muchova beating Pegula. I love Muchova's game, but i need Pegula to win that match to have a chance of beating the draw in the Survivor pool. I know she beat Muchova in Cincy, but this is a different Muchova. Should be a heck of a match between two players at their peak. Wish I could see it.

JMac just made a comment about Iga not playing defense on hard courts. I agree.

Muchova is nursing a hip injury but hopefully nothing serious

I saw the opposite. I felt that Iga was playing defense a lot and when she tried to turn it around, she did not know how.
But I guess Jmac knows a bit more than I do.

I think on some level he was including that, saying it seems like she thinks she doesn't know how to play defense.

Medvedev has won 100% of his shots made at the net. He's now up 5-0 first set.

It's been a long time since I've watched either man play. Medvedev is a very smart player.

Medvedev takes the second set 6-2. I can't stay up for the entire match but Medvedev won that set.

Wild swings in this Sinner- Med match! Very unusual. Wonder why?!

Iga is a great front runner. But if the other player puts pressure on her, it is different.
Horrible UE count, though.
Yes, she is a bit of a bully, isn't she!

There is something wrong with Medevev. His first serve usually clocks around the 130's. Tonight, he is only reaching 120's.

I don't know. Maybe she just doesn't adjust. I don't like her, but "bully" may be a bit too harsh.
(But, by definition, she is).

swiatek did win Qatar and Indian Wells, two of the biggest hard court tournaments of the year .

Taylor lost in the doubles SF, and I was there for the whole match. LOL, I am WAY too tired to type anything else. :cry:
